what happens when a skillet and spinach meet…
The Sis-in-Law is queen of good and easy sides and she did not disappoint with her latest creation. They came over not too long ago for dinner and she offered to make the side.

Super simple but so good When she came walking in she had a bag of spinach and that was it. All sorts of options ran though my head. We were going to steam it, microwave eat, eat it raw, but never did I think about a quick sauté.…
